What comes first your carrier or your family?

family - what could be more representative than 4 people holding hands?

When i was younger i was verry oriented on my carrier, that was the most important thing for me in my life. after i get together with my husband i started thinking differently: i started thinking that one day i woul like to have a family, kids. so slowly the carrier got the second place and family came first. how about you?

Of course, family always comes first! Though I do care about my career too... but that is because I want better paying position/job so I could give a good life for them. So basically, what I do with my career is for my family. It always goes back to family reasons.

For me my career was always first as thats what my family wanted. Even after i married i did my MBA and my wife supported me well. She helped me lots during my exams and she helped my with my studies and projects. She has been a good and a caring husband. Now she proudly says that my husband is a Post Graduate.

Right now, I'm a student, so my career is my top priority and it will be so until I reach a point when I am able to live with the money I make, not being worried about tomorrow. After I consider myself quite fulfilled, professionally speaking, I can look towards family. However, if two persons who both want to have a great career, they can support each other in their progress, and thus have career and family at the same time. I know this is really difficult, takes time, patience, compromises. But one can truly have every thing in life.

I think family comes first than carrier. Carrier doesn't take main part in our life. Only family members will take care our life.

Yes, that's the best choice you ever have! I must go first with family before anything else. If you are a college graduate or have a degree then, career is always there to grab...

Family should always come first. Our families will always be there for us. We need to be there for them too. Careers will come and go. They will not last forever. What you feel for your family will always be a greater need than any career.
